☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Thing in the Mud!", a desperate man's grief ignites a reckoning in the streets of Paris, where a miser’s fortune is scattered to the wind by a stranger haunted by tragedy. Jack Abel’s expressive art brings raw emotion to every panel, capturing the chaos and desperation of a man undone by his own greed. The cover by Harry Anderson adds a haunting, atmospheric touch to this gripping tale from 1954.
In "Worse Than Death!" from Spellbound #22 (1954), a French miser's obsession with wealth is shattered when a man—whose family perished in a fire caused by one of his buildings—throws the miser’s fortune into the wind. As the man scrambles to reclaim his money from the Paris streets, his sanity unravels under the weight of his own greed.
In "The Wedding Present," a man’s greed leads him to swindle a Voodoo practitioner, only to find himself and his beloved transformed into wedding cake ornaments—forever frozen in a gilded, twisted celebration. The story unfolds with a chilling elegance, blending Southern Gothic dread and macabre irony in just five pages.
